How to find profession of a person astrologically?

In this article I want to talk about various methods available in astrology for predicting profession of a person. This article will give summary of the some of the popular methods available as well as my view on vocation astrology. Please note that the methods mentioned here is no way exhaustive as there are hundreds or may be thousands of different methods available in astrology.

Popular view is that the 10th is the house of profession and the planet influencing 10th house gives the idea of the nature of the profession. If there is no planet in 10th house and also 10th house is not aspected by any planet, Parashar, Kalyan Varma and Varahamihira as suggested that the sign occupied by the lord of 10th house in Navamsa gives indication to the nature of profession. This is among the popular classical views.

J.N.Bhasin and several other Vedic astrologers give importance to 1st house more than 10th house for ascertaining profession.

Dr. B. V. Raman in his “How to Judge a Horoscope” says that “the lordship, aspects, location and the general strength of a planet capable of influencing the 10th house determine the nature of the results of the planet produce in its dasa.” In most of his examples, he has used 10th house only that too from the birth chart for determining the nature or profession.

Brihad Yavana Jataka suggests the sign in 2nd house, 4th house and 11th house gives the clue of the profession. Brihad Yavana Jataka talks signification of each sign in above houses in detail.

Saravali and Jatak Bharanam gives more important to house number 2, 11 and the Kendra houses – 1, 4, 7 & 10.

We must note that generally in Vedic astrology, a house needs to be judged from ascendant or Moon whichever is powerful. Mantreshwara suggests taking 10th house from the most powerful of ascendant, Sun and Moon. Though Bhattotapala suggested using all three charts i.e. Lagna, Sun and Moon and then combining the results for conclusion. This view of Bhattotapala is also supported by Garga.

Some astrologers also suggested judging 10th house in Navamsa chart the same way we judge the 10th house in birth chart. I don’t agree to this view as it goes against my understanding of the varga judgment rules.

Some classical texts suggest using Karakamsa the same way as Lagna chart, and hence some astrologers consider 10th house from Karakamsa as well.

Sephariel, one of the most popular western astrologers, has given importance to planet in angles and the planets aspecting the Sun and the Moon. Of course, when he is talking about aspects, he means western aspects and not the Vedic aspects.

Some astrologers also pay special attentions to the yogas for judging the profession. For example, presence of Rajyoga in a chart gives a clue of authority and higher position.

In some Marathi editions of Parasari Hora Sastra predictions about profession in respect of each Shasti Amsa of Janma Lagna are made. There is a table which gives possible profession for each Shasti Amsa (1/60 of a sign). This is a ready reckoner but my success rate with this table is not very high. I believe that this table needs to be rewritten keeping modern professions in mind.

K. Subramaniam, son of KS Krishnamurti, suggested judging 2nd, 6th and 10th house. He also suggested studying rasi, nakshatra and sub lords of the 10th cusp. A table having professions related to 249 subs can be found in various KP texts. This table, though gives some idea of professions related to a group of planet, cannot be used as a ready reckoner.

SP Khullar, astrologer who popularized “Cuspal Interlink” system, suggests examining 1st, 10th and 11th houses for profession. Though while examining, his emphasis is more on the house linked to above mentioned houses and not the permanent (naisargaika) nature of planets and signs.

My experienceClassical text suggests various methods, but I didn’t find any systematic approach for identifying the nature of profession. There are so many rules and almost none of them work uniformly. Based on my own experience I have found following methods work well –

Method 1.One important observation that I have made is that the Dasamsa lagna lord gives very good clue of the nature of profession. In the Dasamsa chart, check the planet influencing lagna and lagna lord and it will give you very good indication of the nature of the profession.

Method 2.In KP System, I check the 2nd, 6th and 11th house. This is similar to K Subramaniam’s method, though in place of 10th house, I found that 11th house gives better results. I use cuspal positions only if there are no planets in the above said houses. For example, if there are not planets in the second house, I use rasi, nakshatra and sub lord of 2nd cusp and so on.

I generally mix above to methods and got satisfactory results. We must note though that knowing the planets, signs and houses that will influence profession is not sufficient enough for predicting profession. These all needs to be combined to come up with the conclusion. The above method can give you some indications of the profession but still predicting profession precisely is going to be a difficult task for an astrologer.

If you have any question to above methodology, please feel free to leave a comment with your email id and I’ll try to answer your question.

as per ur view what will be the profetion as per the position of diffent planets situated at 10 th house of lagna.again i think the mahadasha and antra dsa is also playing a imporant roll in profession.as i have seen this thing with my horoscope and my mrs .horoscopewww.astrosage.com/chart.asp?user=prashantasahoowww.astrosage.com/chart.asp?user=julimanias i left my job at the begining of guru/guru mahadashand started vechile business at guru/ sani and after avoiding a lot i again started treding with my mrs . owned account and doing loseactualy i was miscalculated her date of birth as 28/08/76 at 11.45pm showing guru /sukra mahadashbut actually see was of 27/08/76 at 11.45 pm so mahadasha will be rahu/moonwitch took her name for speculation but unknowingly.

what ever u have mentioned is basically taken form old text thats very true but in practicality as per my knowledge strength of lagna and ninth house plays a great role in deciding the profession if both or any one out of them is strong for example if jupiter of around five degrees in cancer in ninth house then that person is going to be a teacher in one way or another otherwise the tenth house also strongly indicate the profession Parveen Sharma

Your Astrologer

I am Punit Pandey and I write this blog. People call me "Hi-Tech Astrologer" or "Digital Age Astrologer" because of my extensive usage of technology in astrology. I strongly believe that technology can help in improving accuracy of an astrologer tremendously.

My interest in astrology started around two decades back when I picked up few astrology books from a small bookshop in my village. Though later on I realized that my inclination towards Jyotish, Ayurveda and Tantra etc. was very much natural as I am a Bhrigu Gotriya Brahmin and my forefathers were also astrologers. I studied various systems of astrology including Parashari, Jaimini, Tajik, Western, Krishnamurthi and Lal Kitab, and found all these systems wonderful.

I worked as 'Associate Editor' for 'Vedic Astrology and Spirituality', a monthly magazine published from NJ, U.S.A. I am 'Jyotish Visharad', though personally I don't see these certifications any valuable. I have also written extensively for various magazines and news papers like Kadambini, Dainik Jagran, Prabhat Khabar etc.

I have also studied astronomy and mathematical astrology and that is the reason I contributed to many astrology software and websites. The software like 'Mobile Kundli' - the first detailed astrology software for Palmtop (pocket) computers, AstroSMS – first SMS based astrology software, AstroWAP – the first astrology software for WAP & GPRS Mobile phones etc. I am also behind AstroSage.com, the Web 2.0 astrology software & among the most popular Vedic astrology websites in the world. I am also behind some of the biggest astrology communities on Internet like KP Astrology & Lal Kitab communities.
